Yahoo! to the Max: An Extreme Searcher Guide.......2007-07-16
Yahoo! To The Max: An Extreme Searcher Guide is a outline of all of the resources and services offered by Yahoo! These varied services range from search engine and directory services through news and discussion groups to shopping and games. Many of these services are available to the general public however to make full use of all the Yahoo! resources and services, the author of this book encourages readers to join Yahoo! as a free member.
Yahoo! To The Max: An Extreme Searcher Guide is mainly for those who haven't really explored Yahoo! or those that don't realize that Yahoo! is much more than a search engine. Nonetheless, even the Internet surfing expert will find a few services or reference resources that he or she never even knew existed. As the author says, the best way to learn about the services offered at Yahoo! and on the Internet in general is to click on the various links and fully explore the areas that interest you the most.
A renewed appreciation for Yahoo.......2005-08-28
Well I hadn't used Yahoo for the last several years because I could do whatever I wanted on Google. So, I didn't really know what I was missing until I read through this book and tried the myriad of little tricks detailed throughout. Yahoo has grown up and is a serious competitor to other search engines as well as a preferred site for some purposes. Author Randolph Hock introduces the reader to the details of various services of Yahoo including Groups, News, Mail, Messenger, GeoCities, Chat, Message Boards, Shopping, Auctions, Classifieds, and Finance. If that isn't enough he includes information on how to use Yahoo's city guides, maps, weather, people search, and lots of other useful stuff. Have you ever been to a website that did not have a search function? I've been to a lot of them. The author details how to deal with these situations using Yahoo and including site:www.sitename.com on the search line. When you do this it just searches that site! Or if you want to find all the sites that link to another site you can use the link syntax in the search box. I did that and it returned eight links. Surprisingly I did the same thing on Google and it only returned four and only one of them was the same in both engines. A couple of more searches following the instructions in the book and I was surprised to find that in several instances Yahoo returned more relevant results than my old favorite Google. With lots of details on how to use Yahoo effectively, Yahoo to the Max is a highly recommended book which has convinced me that I can often get the results I am looking for more easily from Yahoo than from competitors.
Yahoo Has Come of Age-Try It You'll Like It!.......2005-07-12
In 1994 Yahoo was started by two Stanford University graduate students, David Filo and Jerry Yang. It was at the time when the Internet was just beginning to take off and there were an increasing number of web sites available to Internet buffs.
These two enterprising students developed a collection of selected sites arranged in categories or a web directory that they made available to others. It soon became a very popular search engine, and in 1996 the company went public.
In 2004 the focus had changed from a directory function to a portal and search function.
Yahoo had also established its own "crawled" database, instead of relying on others.
Furthermore, in August of the same year, Yahoo came out with a home page that no longer even prominently displayed the directory.
I have to admit, that after reading Randolph Hock's Yahoo To The Max An Extreme Searcher Guide, I was quite surprised to learn all of the newest Yahoo features, and yes, it made me think twice about that other search engine whose name begins with G.
The resulting book is an excellent manual exposing all of the nifty features of Yahoo presented in an informative and accessible style.
According to the author, Yahoo is the best general portal on the Web, as it has the capability of integrating a broad variety of services and consolidates them nicely on a single page. Even Google has now recognized the usefulness of this approach, and as pointed out, they have been expanding into a wide range of other offerings (directory, news, images, shopping, local, etc) even to the extent of appearing to imitate Yahoo in several ways.
Hock exhibits a sharp eye for the small but important details of Yahoo that will help you better appreciate its value as a portal and its content rich quality.
This is quite in evidence as you read through the book's nine chapters, wherein the author has done an admirable job in explaining Yahoo's home page, effective search and browsing techniques, personalization of the site, groups, news, mail, buying and selling through Yahoo, financial page, and other miscellaneous tidbits as maps, travel, weather, health, photos, music, desktop search, etc.
I was surprised to learn that not only can Yahoo aid you with searches on the Web, but can also provide you with an easy, fast, and effective search of the contents of your computer.
Another feature that I have experimented with is the personalization of the portal pertaining to its appearance, contents, services, messages, and you can even add such features as calendar options, events and task listings, and many more.
It should also be pointed out is that most of the chapters include figures that aid you in fitting the pieces together in order to comprehend its usefulness.
As mentioned in the Preface, the book is not intended to be the definitive, "everything anyone might ever want to know about Yahoo!" book. Its purpose is to act as a guide to the serious "extreme" user in getting the most from Yahoo.
One last mention, as Yahoo is constantly changing, and to keep you aware of these changes since the publication of the book, a Web page has been set up.

Book Description
Legalines gives you authoritative, detailed briefs of every major case in your casebook. You get a clear explanation of facts, the issues, the court's holding and reasoning, and any significant concurrences or dissents. Even more importantly, you get an authoritative explanation of the significance of each case, and how it relates to other cases in your casebook. And with Legalines' detailed table of cases, you can quickly find any case or concept you're looking for.
But your professor expects you to know more than just the cases. That's why Legalines gives you more than just case briefs. You get summaries of the black letter law as well. That's crucial because some of the most important information in your casebooks isn't in the cases at all… it's the black letter principles you're expected to glean from those cases.
Legalines is the only study aid that gives you both case briefs and black letter review. With Legalines, you get everything you need to know - whether it's in a case or not!

A good support to your physics courses........2000-08-16
Interactive Physics(IP) is, I think, the best software produced so far in physics education. In this workbook, which acts as a player for IP files, students can interact with the settings and see the results of 'what if' questions. Especially useful when you would like to enrich the instruction with comp. sims. I recommend this book and the disk to physics teachers. Students can also get a good learning.
Book Description
These names defined the mayhem, excess and glory of American rock for half a century, but only Neal Pollack was there for every note of every show, except for the shows he missed. Only Neal Pollack saw Memphis with Elvis, the Village with Dylan, and the depressed Pacific Northwest with Kurt Cobain. Only Neal Pollack had the extra-potent cough syrup that they all so desperately craved.
From the twisted mind of America's most-photographed satirist comes a raw protean yawp from the depths of nowhere, a hilarious trip through time that savagely parodies the history of rock-`n'-roll and its grandiloquent journalism.
The fictional Neal Pollack, born Norbert Pollackovitz before being renamed, by Elvis, at his Bar Mitzvah, first hears the blues as a child. The notes come from the guitar of Clambone Jefferson, an ancient, mythical character who Pollack spends the rest of his life chasing as the source of music's primal allure. In that pursuit, Pollack becomes a renegade rock journalist whose screeds appear in such high-profile publications as Hillbilly Hot Rag! and Broken Testicle. He seduces Patti Smith and Joan Baez. He discovers Kurt Cobain. He goes on pharmacopoeial binges that put the most reckless, bloated rock star to shame.
Through it all, the real Neal Pollack, the greatest American novelist of his generation, manages to echo the style of overeducated blowhards while tackling the history of blues, rock, punk, post-punk and post-post-punk with equal enthusiasm and disdain.
Never Mind the Pollacks is a rock novel that really rocks. Like a classic album, it opens with a kick in the guts, proceeds to a bite in the shins, and ends with an uppercut to the jaw, leaving you bloodied, awed, and grateful. Along the way, it manages to uncover America's sellouts and false idols. So drink some cough syrup and put on Iggy and the Stooges' Raw Power. Better yet, burn your copy of Raw Power and listen to something new. Because rock, like literature, must destroy itself. Thankfully, Neal Pollack is here to kill them both.

I'm still trying to like it.......2007-02-05
I'm going to put this book down now, (about half way through) and figure since that's usually indicative of me never picking it up again, I may as well give my opinion of it now. I read about this book and the author in "Poets & Writers magazine," where they did a great story on him and mentioned the book's bad reviews. The supposed "bad" review they quoted actually made it sound like it was right up my alley, so I ordered it on Amazon at 39 measley cents for a hardcover. This says something, but I chose to ignore it. Having not finished the book, I can't rightfully say if it ever beomes clear what the author is going for, using his own name for this fictional character that is supposed to be the best rock & roll journalist in the world. We already know the real Neal Pollack was a journalist too, so this makes me think that maybe the author is more interested in using the book for his own personal desires [...]than in creating a truly enticing piece of literature. Just a hunch. By reading about him and by seeing some of the extents of his imagination, I both appreciate and shake my head at him. The mixed feelings are due to my respect for the style and enthusiasm he brings to the table, and my tsk tsk-ing at the blatant cliches he presents, in the form of a character who holds elements of Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and others. While I aplaud his ability do nearly pull this off, and even encourage the fact that he even ventured to attempt it, I also find it a little silly, since I think he's a smart guy and is well aware of what he's created here. All in all,I can't say whether I'd recommend it or not. That depends on the person, I suppose.
Great Fun!.......2006-06-12
As a closeted rock historian, well I'm a disenfranchised ex punk rocker (hardcore punk, not the silly crap they have today). I totally got into this book. It's funny and I almost passed a few kidney stones one night on the toilet laughing so hard. I didn't have kidney stones before I started laughing, so you can tell it was a rather long laugh.
It doesn't suck, you do.
pretty vacant.......2005-07-30
Never Mind the Pollacks by Neal Pollack is alternately brilliant and trash, and if you are at all into the history of rock music, Thompsonian mania, sex, drugs, puking on shoes, f**king the establishment, riding the snake to the lake, and flipping birds or wearing sunglasses in every photograph ever taken of you, definitely read this book.
At the very least it's good for some seriously hard laughs, and even when he fails at what he's doing, it's like seeing your favorite band play a bad show--you still get the gist of what he was going for, and as is true with rock-and-roll in general, you just can't be on all the time.
Now, i'm going to go puke up 8 martinis and pass out cold.
Note: I am no relation to Mr Pollack. My surname has two O's.
The Forrest Gump of Rock.......2005-01-02
This book is great fun. If you know more than a little about rock history and have a good sense of humor about it, you'll probably like this. It might not be as good for people unfamiliar with rock history, however. I was glad I had read Please Kill Me, the 70's NY punk scene book, a few years back because otherwise I would have missed a lot of the references. I probably didn't get a lot of jokes about Joan Baez and Bob Dylan.
This book is the fictional biography of legendary rock critic and guru Neal Pollack, written by a younger, highly gentrified critic who knew him. Pollack just happens to create and then destroy every rock legend from Elvis to Cobaine. Pollack is the author's representation of the spirit of rock n roll, and I think it's a fine one. He is raw, angry, smelly rebellion incarnate-- for better or for worse.
Weak attempt to hang a novel on a great title.......2004-10-06
Neal Pollack proves with this novel that he's at his best when working in the short form. The "Catching Up with Neal Pollack" and discussion questions are the funniest parts of the paperback edition. Pollack fails to mine his rich comic premise of its full potential. He doesn't explore the opportunities for genuinely inspired humor in any of the scenes he depicts, choosing instead to fall back on the same tired formula: Pollack parties with rock stars, says obnoxious but unfunny things, and vomiting ensues. This is just lazy writing, and the author is capable of much better when he's comfortable with the form in which he is operating. That said, I really liked the ending.
